12 Angry Men:
Influence of Surroundings Introduction
The ability to influence or persuade others into the outcome of others lives is one which is presented in "12 Angry Men." In this film, there is a display of how the beliefs and decisions of others create a specific effect on the outcome of others lives. This analysis shows the relationship to group thinking in a given circumstance while displaying concepts of persuasion and how this may change the outcome of a given situation. First, it will look at group thinking and how this is approached. Second, there will be displays of the majority persuasion and the minority persuasion and how these alter to critical thinking within the film. Third, Rahim 's conflict style model will be presented in relationship to the critical group thinking. Terms include group thinking, which is based on a specific stance or consensus outside of practical evidence. The second term is majority and minority influences, based on the number of votes from 12 Jurors, swaying at 7 - 5. The third terminology is Rahim 's conflict style model, displaying internal and external conflicts within the group.
Defining Group Thinking
The beginning of "12 Angry Men" shows that there is an association with group thinking that takes place. The jury of 12 men begins by going into a private room to determine if an 18 year old is guilty of killing his father. At first, all of the men agree that he is guilty. This group thinking is one which shows, without even thinking or discussing the issue, everyone decides to take the same stance. While there is one man that has determined the guilt first, the rest easily fall into not wanting to spend their time on the boy or the case. In this particular instance, there is no discussion over the boy 's guilt and there is not a review over the logic.
